As a stay at home mum I have plenty of free time to help at my children’s school. This is something I love to do. Every week I listen to children read for a couple of hours and I’ve helped on a few school trips too. Last term I was lucky to visit Bhaktivedanta Manor with…

Posted on April 28, 2017September 7, 2025 by jenny

2017 is going by far too quickly for my liking. I can’t quite believe Monday is the 1st May and a lovely Bank Holiday too. We have a fun day out planned but I couldn’t resist pulling together some May Day crafts to help kids celebrate the day. Some of these we’ve made and some…

Mollie Makes Embroidery Purse Kit

Posted on April 27, 2017 by jenny

Every month I challenge myself to make the Mollie Makes magazine cover gift. I’ve subscribed since it first came out and have had a drawer full of unopened kits – but no more!

Sunny days and outside play

Posted on April 25, 2017May 3, 2019 by jenny

April is going so quickly but the longer days and warmer weather means we spend a lot longer outdoors. This weekend we stayed local because we laid a new floor in my son’s bedroom. Thankfully the children were happy to play outside, especially when they received some special happy mail. Outdoor play is really important…
